David Forde is considering an offer to play in Germany - but won’t give up on his Premier League dream just yet.

The Republic of Ireland No1 is out of contract with Championship strugglers Millwall and wants a bigger challenge.

He is still in talks with the Lions but has not accepted their latest offer and admits he is playing for his future in these internationals.

Ahead of Saturday’s clash with Italy, Forde said: “I would love another challenge. I have set goals in my career and I have achieved a lot of them.

“But the one main one is the Premier League. It would be great to get there with Millwall but if it is not to be, I would not discard it.

“There are a couple of Premier League sniffs here and there but there is no point mentioning them because when you start that...”

A Celtic target earlier in the season, Forde refused to rule out going abroad and said: “There was one offer from Germany and I would have no problem moving. It is still in the mix. I have to weigh up the best options for my family because that is all that counts at the end of the day.

“I am looking to get the best possible deal and it is probably the best position I have been in.”
